It’s summer time!

Well, hello there! I can’t believe it has been this long since I last posted! Things have been so hectic around here. Kids are on summer vacation and as their daily routine changes mine does too. We have finally started with a proper summer routine, everything is back into place. My kids are at summer camp and they are loving it! Now, I do not miss the 100 missed calls I get at work every morning! lol

Hope everyone is having a fun filled summer!

I want this!!

How cool would it be to have this for the summer?? Forget the kids, I wouldn’t want to get out the water!!

Our trip to Crete – Greece

Last week hubby and me headed to the Island of Crete for a short relaxing trip. We stayed at a gorgeous hotel called The Amirendes. The hotel was amazing! It was right on the beach with mesmerizing views. The weather was beautiful, which was exactly what we needed, some dust free, lay by the pool kind of weather. One thing that I kept saying through out the trip was “I can’t believe how blue the sky is” lol.

It was a short getaway from all the hustle and bustle of our daily life.

Vacation mode

We are off taking a much needed vacation. We will be back soon with some great posts hope you all had an amazing weekend.

Oleana’s travel must haves

We would like to make your summer holidays a fun, fuss free holiday. We have hand picked some of our top items to help make that trip a bit lighter, easier and worry free. Here is a list of our must have travel items.

1. Trunki  Standing in long airport lines can be tough on kids but with the Trunki kids can ride it as a push car. Designed to be used as hand luggage, kids can pack Trunki with all their favorite toys then ride off, whilst parents keep them in tow.
2. Sleepy Wrap  Roaming around the airport, sitting in the plane or even doing outdoor activities having the sleepy wraps makes it so much easier than carrying around a stroller.  The Sleepy Wrap baby carrier securely holds your little one close to you. Our baby wrap is specially designed for your baby’s first year of life, yet you may comfortably carry your baby for as long as you both desire. Time and time again you will find your baby sleeping peacefully against your chest in her Sleepy Wrap baby carrier.
   
3. Giraffe Buddy Harness A lost toddler is not the best way to start a holiday! Keep your child close to you with the buddy harness. A fun and friendly way to keep kids close in crowds. Latch on the tail of the backpack and you have your little one safely in tow. A velcro pocket on the back hold’s kids stuff.
4. Sophie The Giraffe Teether  Keep your baby busy in the airport and on the plane with Sophie. The Original Sophie the Giraffe by Vulli has been a favorite babies teething toy for over 40 years and has quickly become a “must have” baby essential. Sophie the Giraffe is designed to stimulate babies senses & soothe babies teething gums.
5. Nursing Cover Don’t worry about the awful stares at the airport and on the plane. Nurse discreetly and in style! Moms, celebrities, and medical professionals agree – award winning Hooter Hiders nursing covers are a true ‘Mommy Must-Have’.
6. Diaper Bag a trend driven shape yet an exceptionally functional every day changing bag which opens up into a surprisingly capacious bag. Complete with padded signature changing mat and zip wet bag. 2 outside pockets for all your bits and bobs with stunning domestic bliss patch, inside there are 2 insulated bottle pockets, 2 nappy pockets, 1 zip pocket, 1 mobile pocket, dummy fob and pen holder also comes with 2 clip straps for easy use on your buggy/pram.
7. The Wean Machine An innovative new solution to the problem of preparing small portions of nutritious baby food. Portable, compact and self contained; The Wean Machine can be used at home or when out and about and it gives parents and caregivers control of exactly what’s going into their baby’s food.  Ideal for use with a variety of foods including soft fruits, cooked vegetables and pasta dishes.  Winner of the 2008 Baby Product Association Concept of Awards.
8. Earth Friendly Baby Eco Diaper Sacks Babies can get messy specially on long flights. Have these eco diaper sacks at hand for any waste, dirty clothes and wet items. These Eco Diaper/Nappy Sacks are 100% degradable and kinder to the environment. The tie handles make them easy to use. The sacks are unfragranced and don’t leave any harmful residue. 50 sacks come in one pack.
9. Swipe Case The Swipe Baby Wipes Case by Skip Hop is just perfect for when you need a baby wipe right away. Its secure-snap lid keeps wipes moist and ready for any mess, and the Quick-draw opening makes for super-easy, one-handed access.You can hang it on your stroller or the outside of the diaper bag.

We hope that this list helps you in some way. Have a great summer!
